Tom's Planner review
An affordable collaborative Gantt tool with strong planning features and a focused web-only scope.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Tom's Planner is browser-based Gantt chart software for project managers, teams, freelancers, and organizations that need visual project schedules. Its planning toolkit includes drag-and-drop time blocks, task dependencies, milestones, progress tracking, resource allocation, filtering, search, templates, permissions, and real-time collaboration. An AI assistant can generate project breakdowns and schedules from natural-language descriptions, while the free Personal plan supports one project schedule.
Pricing is structured around Personal, Professional, and Unlimited plans. Personal is free per account and covers one project schedule. Professional costs $119 per account per year or $39 per account per three months, adding up to 20 project schedules, online collaboration, printing, and exports. Unlimited costs $239 per account per year or $79 per account per three months, adding unlimited project schedules and JSON export to the Professional features. The displayed annual-subscription rate starts at $9.95 per account per month, while the quarterly options provide a separate billing route.
Tom's Planner fits teams that want collaborative visual planning without committing to a larger project-management suite. Its broad export support—including PDF, image, Excel/CSV, Microsoft Project, and JSON—helps schedules move into other workflows, and permissions support shared planning. The trade-off is a narrower planning depth: the published feature set does not include critical-path calculation or baseline tracking, and resource planning is not presented as a dedicated workload view. Choose it for accessible schedules, dependencies, milestones, and collaboration; choose an alternative when formal schedule analysis or deeper workload controls are central.
